Summary
The Bando Gora is part death cult, part criminal organization. Founded on the fanatic worship of Death, the Bando Gora seek to seize power and wield it to their own ends. Often this is achieved through ritual sacrifices and assassinations, though it is not unheard of for the Bando Gora to employ various gangs and work with other criminal elements should it serve their purpose.
Driven by the dominating personality of [member="Garnik Verita"], the Priestess of Shadow, the Bando Gora seek to grow in the shadows and expand their influence across the galaxy. They don't seek to raise armies or conquer planets but rather gain control through other nefarious means. Blackmail, Murder, Smuggling, Drug Distribution, slaving, all methods used by the Bando Gora to gain influence. All at the will of the Priestess.

Worshipers of death, the Bando Gora have personified it under guise of "The Father, Death". It is this corporeal father whom they wish to summon, calling him back from chaos to unleash death across the stars. In war, in death, they can feel his presence and taste his power - it is this lust for death which drives them to perform these ritual sacrifices, lust for power guiding their aggression.
Headquartered on one of the many moons of Bogden, their most holy of holy sites resides on the graveyard moon of Kohlma. Not only was the site historically significant to the Bando Gora but it provided a secretive site from which to conceal their operations. Kohlma, headquarters of the cult and home to the Tribunal, shared importance with one other world - Terminus.
The underworld on the planet of Terminus was a perfect place to set up the operational piece of the Bando Gora's infrastructure. Located at the apex of the Hydian Way and the Corellian Trade Spine, it was only logical that this would become the base of their criminal ventures. From drug distribution to slaving, anything related to the operations side of the Bando Gora ran through Terminus. Located at the opposite end of the Hydian Way from Kohlma and Bogden, it allowed a certain anonymity that couldn't have been afforded had they made Kohlma their center of operations.
Their goal, to operate under the radar, has gone well to this point but as they expand the Bando Gora will have to be careful not to poke the wrong bear during its endeavors lest hey feel the sting of its claws.
